Granted: 1912-01-29
Abstract: 2243. Grever, E. C. Feb. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Ironing-machines with pressing action only; steaming - apparatus.-In a machine for pressing and steaming garments, l i v e or superheated steam can be supplied to the garment through a passage in the presser head, the passage being surrounded by a chamber heated by superheated steam or by gas. The garment is laid on a supporting-block 14 and is pressed by a head 13 connected with a treadle 47 and in communication with a combined steam-generator and superheater 33 by pipes 36, 37. The head comprises a chamber 27 within which is a longitudinal passage 19 slotted to allow escape of steam to channels formed by series of ridges 23 on the under side of the head. The ridges are covered by a metallic fabric 24. Live steam is supplied to the passage 19 through a spring- controlled hand-operated valve 41 and superheated steam to the chamber 27; or by suitable manipulation of a pair of three-way valves, superheated steam may be supplied to both the passage .and the chamber. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a description of the steam-generator and superheater. The generator, which is cylindrical, is heated by a gas burner and is surmounted by a feedwaterheater. The superheater is in the form of coils disposed between the burner and the generator. The whole is enclosed by a casing. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-191104812-A (GB)
Title: Safety Device for Platen Printing Presses Operating on the Interruption of the MOvement of the Roller Carriage.
Inventor: ROCKSTROH MAX
IPC: B41F1/54
Filed: 1911-02-25
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 4812. Rockstroh, M. Feb. 25. Stopping - arrangements; inking - apparatus. - A platen press is so constructed that if the inking-roller carriage is interrupted in its normal movement, stop mechanism is actuated to put the press out of action and prevent injuries to the carriage and machine. In one form, Fig. 1, the carriage 1 is reciprocated from a rock-shaft 3 driven by mechanism comprising a connecting-rod formed of two members 7, 8 provided with engaging grooves, prisms, or wedges, which are pressed together by a spring-controlled bolt 9. A knifelike projection 20 on the member 7 engages a similar projection 18 on a bell-crank 16 on the pivot 17 on which the member 8 is pivoted, and the bell-crank 16 acts on a pin 15 on a spring- controlled lever 14 and retains this lever in the position shown. If the movement of the carriage 1 is retarded, the members 7, 8 move relavitely to one another, and the projections 18, 20 are disengaged, allowing the lever 14 to move in a counter-clockwise direction and to strike a weighted bell-crank 28, thereby raising a pawl 27 out of the path of a projection 24 on a spring-pressed rod 21, which stops the machine and applies the brakes. The connecting-rod described may be replaced by one in which the two parts are connected by pins which break and allow relative movement between the two parts and co-act with similar stopping mechanism. In a modified form, Fig. 6, the connecting-rod 2 that drives the carriage 1 is pivoted to the arm 37 of a three-armed lever 37, 29, 38 pivoted by a pin 41 to an arm 40 on the carriage. The lever is normally further connected to the carriage by a spring-controlled bolt 30 engaging a groove 42 in the arm 38, or by a yielding frictional connexion not in stable equilibrium. If the carriage is impeded, the connexion between the spring bolt 30 and groove 42 gives, and the lever moves on its pivot 41 thereby rotating a shaft 39 provided with a rib 31, which is embraced by the forked end of lever 29. The shaft 31 thus moves an arm 34 out of connexion with an arm 35 of a spring-controlled lever which trips a bell-crank 28, thereby releasing the stop mechanism which is similar to that described. Any other member instead of the connecting-rod which transmits motion to the inking-carriage may be constructed in two parts and be adapted to control the stopping - mechanism.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Cleaning the Hulls of Ships or any kind of Vessel.
Inventor: BROWNE FREDERICK GEORGE
IPC: B63B59/08
Filed: 1912-07-17
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 16,717. Browne, F. G. July 17. Hulls, cleaning mechanically.-In apparatus for cleaning the hulls of ships, which is suspended from a floating lighter or dock wall, the pressure of the cleaning-member is regulated by the supporting-cables in addition to adjustable rollers mounted on the casing of the cleaner. The cables are capable of relative adjustment. The cleaner h is carried by cables k, l passing over a derrick g, which is raised and lowered by an electric winch g<2>. The derrick g is mounted on a lighter b connected to each end of the ship by ropes passing over pulleys and around a winch on the lighter b, so that the cleaner h may be traversed over the ship's hull. Relative adjustment of the cables k, l is obtained by means of drums, Fig. 4, driven by a motor o by chain gearing p. A drum carries the cable n for supplying power to the cleaner h. The drums i, j may be rotated independently of one another by disconnecting the clutch r. When cleaning the bottom of the hull, a loose pulley is supported from a second boat, and the ropes k, l pass right under the ship, being kept clear of bilge keels &c. by pulleys mounted on forked members engaging the keels &c. The points of attachment of the cable k may be made adjustable, thereby altering the inclination of the cleaner h. In a modified form of derrick, Fig. 10, the arms g are double, as shown. The ends of the derrick arms are fitted with rollers g<1>. The supporting-cables k, l are also in duplicate. Instead of enclosing the cleaner in a watertight casing, as described in Specification 29,020/11, the motor casing is provided with conical ends fitted with air-chambers to increase the buoyancy. The actual cleaning-member is driven from the motor by sprocket-wheels and chains through worm gearing.

The piston 22 regulates an aperture 14 leading to a tube 12 and the nipple orifice 9. In order that the regulation of the orifice 9 shall not alter the pressure, the throttle device is formed by an aperture 18 and a cone 15 connected to the nipple-regulating pin 7 by the tube 12, into which the cone 15 is adjustably screwed. The pressure chambers 32, 33 are formed by a cylinder 20, which has openings 25 in direct communication with the gas main, a lower plate 24 which centres the tube 12, and a cover 17 having a neck 18 forming the throttle aperture. The cover 17 and cone 15 are enclosed by a perforated hood 16, held in place by lugs 28.

Abstract: 25,159. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Ferreira, L. de M. G. Nov. 2. Signals and points, interlocking; miniature signals.-The running and open tongues of a points-detector separately and independently influence the control circuit, and the detector is so constructed that the running tongue is finely detected while considerable movement is allowed to the open tongue before detection. A bar a is connected to the locking bolt and bars b, c to the tongue of the points. When the points are home and locked, the switches t<1>, t<2> close the control circuit and the reversing motor circuit respectively as shown in Fig. 1. These switch arms are actuated by racks on the bars d', d' engaging pinions r<1>, r<2>. In reversing the points, the bar a is moved to engage the roller i and slide the bar c against the action of a spring k and to rock the lever g about the stud f and move the bar d' to reverse the switch t. When the points are reversed the bars b, c are moved so as to bring the notches q<1>, q<2> opposite to the pieces p<2>, p<4> on the bar d'. The locking of the points replaces the bar a and the spring k rocks the bar g about the stud f<1> and slides the bar d<2> to reverse the switch t<2> and close the control circuits for the reversed position of the points as shown in Fig. 5. The pieces p<1>, p<2>, p<3>, p<4> are adjustably mounted on the bars d<1>, d', and are so placed with respect to the notches q<1>, q' in the bars b, c that a small movement of that bar, which for the time being is connected to the running tongue, that is, b in Fig. 5 and c in Fig. 1, serves to open the control switch while a considerable motion of that tongue, which is the open tongue for the time being, is permitted before the control switch is moved thereby. In order to obtain a quick break of the motor circuit, an arrangement similar to that shown in Specification 19,662/09, [Class 104 (i), Railway &c. switches], may be used comprising a spring-pressed pawl u coacting with a slot in the bar a.
